The problem
Apps request broad permissions and embed trackers that users never see, undermining consent.
What to build
Create a tool that analyses an app package, lists permissions and third-party trackers and explains the privacy impact in plain language.
Success looks like
Correct tracker identification on a sample of apps and a report that non-technical users understand.
Suggested technologies
- Static analysis
- APK parsing
- Tracker databases
- Report generation
- Privacy education
